New/Returning player

[TheSkywaker]

Hello ive played cs1 for a while and still play it but was interested in playing cs2, i know the server is super laggy right now and waiting to be fixed. My question was as a new player coming to cs2 and somewhat f2p, would it be worth it? Are the servers healthy and have a decent amount of active players 20-40+ daily. How much harder/easier are systems here compared to cs1. What server would you recommend?

CS2 servers are not as active as CS. We might have 10 to 20% the population of CS.
Leveling in CS2 is faster than in CS but we have fewer levels. There are 180 levels.
There is NO rebirth.
There are fewer Cash Shop Systems.
We have fewer items in our Points Shop than CS.
If your guild win's turf war, there is a Contribution Shop that is cheaper than the Guild Shop.
There is no monthly VIP. Your VIP is based on how much you have recharged and does not disappear.
Delivery does not give gold.
End game dungeons are hard (Often requiring you to have an actual party).
Event monsters that spawn in town are hard (I have never killed one).
Pets do not require Morph Crystals. Instead, you need to merge the same pet.
There is a way of grinding out points to buy pets but it takes forever and will require a lot of Gold.

And...

There are BUGS and R2 refuses to fix them.

There are probably other things but I can't think of them yet.

Ok that is some interesting differences,how hard is it to do the systems?? like tenets,HF,heradly,frag,wings,mounts and such. Do they drop in game/have events or is it as hard as cs1?

There's a bug list for CS2. Please, check the list out and let us know if there's something not on the list and we'll work to get them fixed. Thank you!

If you open the fate shop underneath the Gift Pack tab on page 5 you'll see a pack for sale with torches.
